One of Birmingham's most iconic buildings is reopening after a facelift which took two-and-a-half years.
The Rotunda, a former city centre office block which is 43 years old, has been redeveloped into more than 230 luxury apartments.
The building, seen by many as a symbol of the city, survived a 1974 IRA bomb which damaged a pub at its base.
And in 1993 the Rotunda survived the threat of demolition with the building of the Bull Ring shopping centre.
It was made a Grade II listed building in 2000.
The revamped building, which includes more glass on the exterior, includes one and two-bedroom apartments along with six penthouses.
It was being officially opened on Tuesday.
The flats were all sold within hours after going on sale in October.
